About SERIS & SEAS
Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS)
The Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore at the National University of Singapore is Singapore’s national institute for applied solar energy research. SERIS is supported by the National University of Singapore (NUS), the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). It has the stature of an NUS University-level Research Institute and is endowed with considerable autonomy and flexibility, including an industry-friendly intellectual property policy.
SERIS commenced operations in 2008 and conducts research, development, testing and consulting on solar energy technologies and their integration into power systems and buildings. The Institute’s R&D spectrum covers materials, components, processes, systems and services, with an emphasis on solar photovoltaic cells, modules and systems. SERIS is globally active but focuses on technologies and services for tropical regions, in particular for Singapore and South-East Asia..
SERIS’ multi-disciplinary research team includes more than 140 scientists, engineers, technicians and PhD students. In addition, the institute has formal research links with more than 20 professors from NUS (“Adjunct researchers”). SERIS collaborates closely with universities, research organisations, government agencies and industry, both locally and globally. The collaborations with companies from the global solar sector span from small start-ups to industry-leading heavyweights.
SERIS has extensive rich knowledge and experience with floating solar systems, including having designed and operating the world’s largest floating PV testbed in Tengeh Reservoir, Singapore, which was commissioned by PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, and the Economic Development Board. Launched in October 2016, this testbed compares side by side various leading floating solar solutions from around the world. Through detailed monitoring and in-depth analysis of the performance of all the systems, SERIS accumulated deep insight into floating solar and SERIS’ objective is to disseminate the best practices in installation and operation of floating solar pants as well as help to formulate standards for floating PV.
